«A great diplomatic job has been done by Italy. What will Matteo and the national Giorgia say now? ». Peremptory tone. Like the invitation to follow: “Let them explain to the Italians where they would get their money from”. The comment, and the challenge, do not come from a member of the Five Stars, or the Democratic Party. They are flour of the sack of Gianna Gancia, MEP of the League, who yesterday in a tweet blew up the staff of the Carroccio in the chair. And maybe from Fratelli d’Italia.
The theme is the Recovery Fund, with reference to the agreement painstakingly brought home by Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, who apparently has found a new and unexpected admirer. While Salvini had the confirmation of having a grain in the house: not really a surprise, given the often misaligned outputs of the Gancia. “From the beginning I was the only one, within Salvini’s party (what was once the League) to firmly support the need (together with some colleagues from Forza Italia) for an ambitious agreement on the Recovery Fund”, said the MEP, former president of the province of Cuneo, regional councilor in Piedmont and married to the powerful senator Roberto Calderoli.
The reference to the League is emblematic, “what was once the League”: a contrast to Salvini’s party, rather than a clarification. The demonstration of a never dormant nostalgia, and at the same time of positions markedly distant from the political strength desired by the current leader: extensive (from North to South), inclusive, formerly governmental and now in opposition. A subject in which you obviously do not recognize yourself. And not since yesterday.
Be that as it may, the polemical tweet, to put it mildly, has not gone unnoticed on the upper floors of the League: “It is like all those who preceded it, Gancia makes one and a hundred thinks of it”, is the disconsolate comment of the lieutenants of Salvini. They minimize, but if only they could, they would happily bleach what is considered in all respects as a troublemaker: «It is in the League but it is as if it were not. Come on, when she was elected MEP she didn’t even want to join the group … ». Having said that: no reply, no resonance. Password: fly over, and ignore. Looking forward to the next tweet.
